MONTREAL - As Saturday's practice wound down, Daniel Alfredsson took part in a different version of 'keep away' along one of the Bell Centre blue lines.

He stood in the middle as two teammates tried to pass a puck to each other without the captain getting his stick on it. They usually went high, forcing the 40-year old kid to jump and flail at the flying rubber. More often than not, he connected.

One of Alfredsson's playmates was goalie Craig Anderson, minus his mask and mitts. The way he was sending the passes back and forth with Erik Karlsson, Anderson might want to take a shot at an opponent's empty net sometime.
